How it works

Carleton uses Kaltura – a cloud-based video management system – for recording, storing, publishing, and streaming videos, video collections, and other media. It’s free to the university community and is installed in every classroom on campus. Whether you want to record a PowerPoint presentation, show your students how to use an application or use a document camera to solve problems, Capture has you covered.

The workshop will explore:

How to install the free software and make a recording on your computer

The different types of possible recordings with examples from other Carleton instructors

Different ways of integrating videos from you or your students into your class

Other Recoding Options

Tips

Sizing – Playback and mobile friendly?You are recording your whole screen, the person playing back the video might be watching on a smaller screen.

Screen size for process teaching – make your screen bigger if you will be showing software or websites and you want people to be able to see the text of options or pages. (link on how to do this coming soon.)

FAQs

Although lecture capture might be expected to reduce attendance, there is little evidence of this among comparable UK institutions. Studies suggest that students can participate more actively in sessions when they feel able to take fewer notes. Usage reports also show that students tend to review short passages rather than watching or re-watching entire recordings, suggesting that they tend to use the facility to review complex or important parts of the lecture.

Of course, it will be necessary to be clear with students about the expected uses of lecture capture recordings. While students will most likely not get the full benefit of watching the lectures online rather than attending in person, some may assume that they no longer need to attend. It is lecturers’ responsibility to ensure students understand that lecture capture recordings are provided as a supplement, not a replacement, for teaching.
